Guys – something amazing happened this Summer — we had fun — and I stepped a bit away from this here blog. I did, however, start posting all kinds of photos to my Instagram stories as a way of ‘photo-blogging’ my way through the summer months!

My children had a blast at the YMCA — both while I was working and while they (well, specifically, Ari, was in swim lessons!).

We went to Kentucky to visit my parents.

We celebrated my nephews first birthday!

We took a BIG family vacay to Hilton Head!

Basically, all of these pictures and I’m all “OMG I can’t believe it’s nearly September!” And now we have exactly ONE WEEK left of Summer break before our new school year starts. I’m absolutely going to make the most of this week and get one more ‘hurrah’ outta Summer! 😉

Good for you for taking some time away from work this summer – I did the same thing, and I don’t regret it for a minute. I lived life a little more fully for the last month, and I came back feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work. Also, I love that photo you took of the sunflowers in the crates – so pretty!
